Joe Don Rooney's recent car accident and subsequent arrest for DUI was apparently caused by a deer. TMZ reports Rooney told police he was driving in Williamson County, TN last month when a deer ran out in front of him, causing him to swerve and drive off the road and into a tree line.
According to police reports, Rooney smelled like alcohol and failed several field sobriety tests. He told officers that he had played golf earlier before going to a friend's house for drinks and admitted to “one more than I should have.”
Rooney was booked on a misdemeanor DUI charge and was released after posting $2,500 bond. He is scheduled to be in court in November.
